A story of an ordinary Christian housewife content where she was at; until God reminds her that she said she would go wherever he sent her. Step by step, God confirms to her that he is sending her and her family to Guatemala; IF she will go. Confronted with the knowledge that she can either obey or continue to be miserable; she embarks on an adventure of a lifetime. She makes new friends, some that will be life long friendships. She also overcomes fears and is stretched beyond what she thought she could ever do.
If I was asked to describe this book in 3 words; they would be
Entertaining, Humorous, Honest.
I liked the book because of these very three things.
It was an easy read but also engaging too!
I absolutely loved the title and it was a sign of how honest she was going to be in not always being as strong in her faith as she had thought or presented to other people.
Just a quick note about the author: she was the winner of the Women of Faith 2010 Writing Contest, and honorable mention recipient in the 78th Annual Writer’s Digest Competition. When I first saw that, I hesitated because in the past when it comes to movies and sometimes books that doesn't necessarily mean I will like it. So I just closed my eye and clicked "choose" on booksneeze. I'm glad to see that it was a good choice.
I received this book free from the publisher through the Book
THanks for the review, I was just about to choose my next to review and I had to see what you though!
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear, that this was helpful. I hope you like it as much as I did.
DeleteThank you for the "casting -the-lot" choice! I'm glad you weren't disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had remembered to include the fact that reading your book was like sitting down with a likable friend listening to her talk about a part of her life.
